THE AMY SHERwIN CONCERT.

Last evening prepossessing young lady
of medium sized figure, neither brunette or
a blonde, with brown hair and superb hazel
eyes, a winning, handsome face, came upon
the stage OF Granite Hall with unaffected yet
dainty grace aud sung. This lady was no
other than Miss Amy Sherwin Mrs. Hugo
Gorlitz) whose sweet voice has resounded
across the continent from Australia, her
home and native land, and made her famous.
Coming fresh from her laurals won in Eu-
rope it might well be accepted as privilege
bv Augusta people-her appearance here
and the great advance sale of seats, the
largest ever known here and the brilliant
and fashionable audience-the best which the
city could produce-whicE filled the hall evil
denced the interest which was felt There
was no questioning that Miss Sherwin
a5unGantly maintained the reputa-
ton which she has gained.
To adequately describe her singing would be
a task for a novice. 1t might be aptly likened
to a mountain brook ripping gently over its
pebbly bed it was sweet, fresh, full and
clear Her Notwithstanding, as it did,
clear enuncialion with truthful information
and ar,istically finished method-m ide indeed
a most favorable impression on the audience
She sang the "Swiss Echo Song" 1.-Two
Songs" selected, $40, the Gentle Lark, and
was repeatedly called back to the stage. Sig
nor Ronconi won much favor with the audi
ence as basso, and his performance on the
flute was of marked superiority, some parts
being exceedingly difficult Abby Clark Ford
sang we'll. Mr.. Alfred DeSeve repeated his
former triumphs here. and the audience gave
way to its enthusiasm in manner which
could be but fl,ttering to this violnist who is
able to WELD the bow so magically. Miss
Nellie Folger was accompanist. and the audi
ence have the Misses Folger to thank for their
efforts in bringing the company here ana
making the concert so great a success.
